Matrix Algebra and Differential Equations Essentials
Matrix Rank
- Echelon Form: rank = number of non-zero rows
- Normal Form: reduce to identity matrix (I); rank = number of 1s on diagonal
Matrix Forms
- Echelon Form: zeros below pivots
- Normal Form (RREF): pivots = 1 and only non-zero in column
Systems of Equations
- Form augmented matrix [A|B], row reduce
- Consistent if no row like [0 0 0 | b≠0]
- Unique: rank A = rank [A|B] = number of variables
- Infinite: rank A = rank [A|B] < number of variables
- No solution: rank A ≠ rank [A|B]
Linear Dependence/Independence
- Vectors
